you can see in the world around us, that in a big way, we, based upon our desires, determine our own quality of life.
many of those desires have led to a hellish existence.
hell is simply a place where people who wish to reject god, and live in hatred and in suffering can do so, without victimizing the rest of us who don't want that.

I don't "reject" God, I just don't believe one exists.. To reject something, you'd have to acknowledge it exists first.
Are you saying that if I don't believe in a God, I live in hatred and suffering?
That's horse shit.
I doubt my life is all that different from yours...I just don't believe in a God.
I don't need it to get thru each day..I don't blame it for the bad things that happen, I don't credit it, for the good.
Seems you believe that only those that believe in a God, can be happy.
If that works for you, that's great. I'm doing fine without one.
I am not anti-religion, I just personally don't subscribe to it.
There is no heaven, there is no hell...There is only life and death.

i'm not suggesting religion, and i'm not suggesting happiness per se. lots of things that make us happy can be pretty destructive at the same time.
i don't even talk about heaven and hell as a place, unless someone addresses that specifically, and then i make an analogy to the world we live in now. that is because it's what i'm familiar with (as i'm not dead yet), and because i think it's very easy to extrapolate the concept of heaven and hell based upon what we see going on around us, and even within us, every day.
the one thing i believe, that's based entirely on my own experience (although confirmed in scripture), is that a person has to be open to the idea of god, and to the idea of having a relationship with god, before that can ever happen. people have a whole host of very valid reasons for not being open to that, whether god exists or not. god has proven his existence to many people, including myself. i have absolutely no doubt in my mind that god exists, that his law exists, that a spiritual realm exists, and no religion gave me that, no book gave me that, and no person gave me that. the proof that i have was given to me directly and personally by god himself. and god can and will do that for anyone who is open, but being open to it is the key, whether you have evidence or proof or not. not being open IS a rejection, and like i said, the rejection is determined for a reason.

Who said I wasn't open to the idea? I've just seen no reason to believe one exists so far..Who knows, that could change some day..
From what you have said in different threads, you haven't always believed either.. Certain events changed your stance on the God question..
In my 46 years in this life, I haven't experienced any such events.
As I said before, I have nothing against those that believe..To each their own.
Just as I don't judge you for believeing, don't judge me for not.
That statement is in general, not neccessarily directed at you.

you're right. there was a time when i didn't believe because i had no reason to, and i wasn't about to believe unless i did. i honestly don't understand how it's possible to believe without some type of proof.
i admit though, that for a long time i didn't want to know, and i had some really valid reasons for not wanting to know. the first and foremost reason was religion and the fact that i wanted no part of it. beyond that, i didn't want anyone or anything telling me what to do, judging me, condemning me, forcing me, to be someone i was not. i've pleasantly come to find that my perception about those associations was wrong.
i know for a fact, that what changed in me, was my desire to know. i came to a place in my life that, regardless of the negative associations i held, i still wanted to know. so i said to god, "if you're out there, and if you're real, then prove it."
and god proved it.

1)Then you agree, some proof is a must.. I have yet to see any for myself yet.
2)Big point here...I DO reject organized religion, for the very reasons you stated. Big difference between belief in a God, and religion.
3) Well, I have asked the same question many times over the years.. So far, I have recieved no response.. But, who knows what can happen later.
But, it's just hard for me to wrap my mind around an invisible entity that created everything, and sits quietly in "heaven" watching us destroy ourselves.
So, for now I will wait for some sign that leads me to believe...

yes.
yes...huge.2)Big point here...I DO reject organized religion, for the very reasons you stated. Big difference between belief in a God, and religion.
yes, and from what i can tell, being sincere, even emphatic, and demanding doesn't hurt.3) Well, I have asked the same question many times over the years.. So far, I have recieved no response.. But, who knows what can happen later.
i think it's sensible to assume that our perception of what god is is very limited.But, it's just hard for me to wrap my mind around an invisible entity that created everything, and sits quietly in "heaven" watching us destroy ourselves.
yay.So, for now I will wait for some sign that leads me to believe...
